haha! me too. actually i went to catholic school until 8th grade, so i wore a uniform and had very few regular clothes. But i do remember being so excited to have a pair of z-cavaricchis and girbauds and bongos! I loved Clothestime to shop at- was within my budget. I remember being devastated in grade school one of the rare instances we got to wear regular clothes to school- i had on a sweater and my best friend asked where i got it and i told her kmart. She then told the whole class and proceeded to humilate me.

I am still traumatized!
We couldn't afford much with 3 girls just a year apart. The only reason we could be in private school is because my mom worked there. i wore a lot of payless!!!!

i never owned a real polo shirt either.
I still can't manage to splurge much even these days. Yes, i still buy some clothes at Target! Hey, i love a deal and I am not a huge label girl. I still can't bring myself to buy designer jeans (unless i see them at Ross or Off Fifth or Nordstrom Rack!).......once i get to my goal weight, i'll splurge for some $150 jeans maybe as a treat.
